Rugar Ross is a 11-year-old Pitbull and lab mix in Charlottesville, VA, who needs $1,150 for Don't know until see the vet.

I rescued Rugar from a place where they wasn't feeding him or treating him right. I've had him for about 4 weeks now. I've managed to get him spayed and neutered. And he also has all his shot up to date. He's healthy now and is growing. I've never owned a pet before, but I love him very much. I spoil him rotten. He's potty trained at 11 weeks old and had no problems. He's a great dog.

When I first got Rugar I kept him close to me at all times. He slept in my bed. Now he has his own bed. And loves his new home. He's good with other people and loves to play and jump around. He likes taking walks with me in the woods and playing fetch. But his favorite thing to play is tug of war. But now he's just not the playful dog . You can tell he just don't feel well.

I've been unemployed for since mid April because of covid. My company closed and I'm on unemployment now. I bearly had the money to get his shot. Im so worried about Rugar. Hes just not himself and it so stressful where no one will help him and he just sounds and looks bad.

Rugar has been running a fever and is very congested. And I'm not sure if he just catching a cold/ flu. Or if he's just got allergies or something serious. I've called several different vet and emargence vet hospital/clinics but none of them will see him unless I pay up front. They tell it's going to cost me for this and that and not sure what else until he sees the vet.

Rugar is so special cause even know he was tested so bad he's always so happy. Loves to bed loved and give love. He's changed my life and keeps me on the move all the time. There's never a file moment. Rugar is always making me smile because he's so silly. He's always so cheerful and excited. I think he's just as happy as I am. To be honest we where meant to be with each other.
